We are a couple who will travel to different countries in a sabbatical. On our trip we want to know different people, cultures, landscapes and live a time in a different way…
André:
I am a musician, I play drum and African drums in the band Expresso 4.11 and also give percussion lessons for children and adolescents in the institution Projeto Gente Nova or PROGEN ( new people project) where I work as a social educator.
Viviane:
I'm a social worker. I'm part of feminist movement in my city trough a association of women called "Promotoras Legais Populares", something like Popular Defender Rights.
I love beaches, nature, sports, music, caipirinha, parties and I love dancing.
I really like moving my body and my mind, now I do Yoga but I’ve practiced capoeira, popular Brazilian dances, swimming, Pilates…
I like meeting people, laughing a lot, talking about politics, culture, life or just make small talk.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it´s an alternative way to travel. It seems better to know new people, do friendships, to know more deeply other cultures.
